In 2013, HOCHTIEF celebrates its 140th anniversary and is one of the leading global construction groups. A number of remarkable projects around the globe testify to the company’s creativity. In its long history, HOCHTIEF has shaped living spaces, built spectacular landmarks, and delivered technically superlative solutions. In performing these activities, the Group could rely on its accumulated expertise and never had to be afraid of changes—a tradition HOCHTIEF can also build on in future. Turning Vision into Value. Anz_Essen-Affair_2013.indd 2 27.03.13 10:10 EDITORIAL | 3 Egon Galinnis Managing Director of Messe Essen GmbH Dear Readers, Not too much navel-gazing – we set ourselves this objective at the very start of ESSEN AFFAIRS. And your comments on our magazine have convinced us that this is still the right way to go. But we’ve made an exception for this issue. And I’m sure you won’t hold it against us, for the occasion is unique: Messe Essen was founded 100 years ago, on 21 April 1913. In the cover story on our 100-year jubilee, we not only take a look back but also gaze into the future – just like the many well-wishers who sent us their personal congratulations. I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank all of them once again for their contributions.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 24, 2015 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] PIANIST DANIIL TRIFONOV ELECTED TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC BOARD OF DIRECTORS Pianist Daniil Trifonov, the 24-year-old Russian pianist who is beginning his final week as the spotlighted soloist in the three-week Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival, has joined the Board of Directors of the New York Philharmonic, elected on November 13, 2015. The Philharmonic’s relationship with Daniil Trifonov began with his Philharmonic debut in the 2012–13 season, when, at the age of 21, he performed Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, led by Music Director Alan Gilbert. The New York Times wrote of that performance: “The orchestra and the soloist clearly had chemistry, sounding completely in sync even during the trickiest passages. Their vivid dialogues unfolded with both verve and spontaneity.” The Philharmonic invited Mr. Trifonov to return in the 2014–15 season to perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1, led by Juanjo Mena. Called “dazzling” and “a brilliant, uncommonly poetic soloist” by The New York Times, Mr. Trifonov is the featured soloist in Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival, taking place throughout November 2015, in which he performs Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concertos Nos. 2, 3, and 4 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, in addition to a chamber program featuring Mr. Trifonov alongside Musicians from the New York Philharmonic. “Daniil Trifonov will be an outstanding addition to the New York Philharmonic Board of Directors,” said Chairman Oscar S. Schafer. “He is a brilliant pianist who, since his debut in 2012, has thrilled our audiences and established a strong rapport with our musicians that critics and audiences have noticed.

  • Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Born at Oneg, Novgorod Region. He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his role as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas and liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and voice.
